Being a librarian

Hello, guys. This is S.H. Wong.


I have been asked by many with the same question- why on earth did you make the decision to become a librarian? Well it certainly sounds like librarian is a kind of plague or something beyond imagination that an energetic girl will ever pick as a job. But if I guarantee you that this job is hilariously tons of fun, what'd you think?


The age of librarians sitting behind counters trying hard to look dignified and infrangible is long gone. Nowadays we view ourselves as information gatherers, organizers and moderators. Kind of cool thinking, isn't it? It makes me feel like I am in the secret agent business, and makes my surfing on the Internet during work time totally justified :P. Then we reach out for clients and help them to sort their problems with these assets we acquired; now it makes me feel like I am here to save the world. This is totally fun and worthy to do, I think you can see the point now.

If the above written fails to convince you that we are a changed occupation, check this video out: See how these librarians tell you about our job.

The beginning

Hello folks. Besides at the school, we are so glad to meet you guys up here. This blog will be hosted together by the librarian teacher and the head student librarians. We hope that through this platform, we can share with you about our library's development, and some funny infos. The first blog will be written by S.H. Wong, the teacher librarian.
